It's stripped of features and AFAIK only does winxp but is better
integrated.
So vmware and parallels are much more robust for advanced and general
purpose. Virtual xp is just there to ensure compatibility with win7.
The virtual xp thing is going to come with one of the win7 versions
for free.

Is the virtual as good as vmware?

Yes, it is like any other virtual appliance. In that regard. Apps
installed in win7 do not show up in virtual xp unless you reinstall
them again. But system devices and drives do.

Instead of dual booting, have you tried the Virtual XP option that
comes
with Win7? It's a custom virtual PC add-on that works very well.
What's so
cool is that when you install apps in the virtual XP for all users,
they
show up in your Win7 start menu. It's very slick.

I took Vista off my main machine and have been using the Win 7 RC
as
well.
I dual boot to XP and Win 7 now, no more Vista in the house at
all.
